Usage

Single section

This template is used to generate a link to a certain section of a local wiki page and render an appropriate section mark (§).

Instead of:

[[Download#What next?|Download § What next?]]

...you can write:

{{Section link|Download|What next?}}

...which is much shorter and does not require you to search for the section mark character.

Both generate:

Download § What next?

Multiple sections

This template may generate consecutive links to several sections of the same page:

{{Section link|Download|Download from Git instead|What next?}}

...will generate:

Download §§ Download from Git instead​ and What next?

Suppressing page name

Sometimes the page name needs not to appear, e.g. to avoid redundancy and wordiness. For the page on which the template is used, not specifying a page name creates a section link only. The following:

{{Section link||Suppressing page name}}

...is the equivalent of:

[[#Suppressing page name|§ Suppressing page name]]

...and renders as:

§ Suppressing page name

For other pages, |nopage=1 can be used to suppress the page name.
